Chapter 287: One generation is not as good as the next
When Yang Qing ran to Princess Kunxing's bed with a plate of steaming chocolate, the latter immediately forgot about the pain he had caused himself......
It's the first time for her!
And then being tossed by this guy for a whole hour, even if most of the time was just doing something tender and sweet, it still left her severely traumatized. Fortunately, the soothing effect of chocolate is also excellent, and soon the two of them sat on the edge of the bed and fed each other, and then Princess Zhaoren, who smelled it, squeezed into Yang Qing's white eyes.
Just as the three of them were happily enjoying the food, in the torture room of the wolf's den, Yang Yong was holding a confession and looking at Xiong Wenju with a smile.
"Man is born dead!"
He unfolded his confession in front of the latter.
"Since you have to die early and late, why don't you let yourself die comfortably?"
He said sincerely.
Xiong Wenju opened his eyes with difficulty.
However, at this time, Xiong Xuetang, the two servants of our Daqing Dynasty, did not have many wounds on his body, and he said that Jin Yiwei was a veteran, and he knew that pain, something that needed to be transmitted by the nervous system, would be numb, and the best way to toss the prisoner to make him succumb was to destroy it psychologically. For example, the most effective is inside the Iron Woman, this improved version of the Iron Woman will not penetrate a trace of light, only some twisted ventilation tubes to ensure breathing, and then seal the gaps around it with glue and sink the whole into the water of the dungeon.
There was no light, loneliness in the darkness, outside sounds distorted by the currents......
It's hell!
Xiong Wenju stayed inside for two whole days.
"You demons!"
He said tremblingly.
"You are always prejudiced against us, we are here to help you, as long as you sign this confession, Zhongyong Marquis can guarantee that at most the Xiong family will pay some fines but will not raid the house. But if you are obsessed, the Xiong family will not only raid the house, but also the men will be exiled to the island to mine, and the female commanders will be assigned to those soldiers who have no wives. ”
Yang Yong said.
Daming's slavery has not been canceled.
The main reason is that this involves too wide, from top to bottom, from the government to the people, there are still a large number of slaves and maids, Yang Qing's census has also counted these slaves and maids, but it is not clear how to deal with them in the future. However, the buying and selling of the Ming nationality is strictly prohibited, and once it is found that the buyer is beheaded, it can be hired, and it can also be bought and sold without the Ming nationality, even if it is taken outside to be taken prisoner, but the Ming nationality is not good. The slaves who originally belonged to the government were all released as civil citizens, especially those official prostitutes, who were sold by some people, and stuffed into the medical teams of medical centers in various places as nurses and cooks. As for the women who newly raided the family, they were basically all assigned to the soldiers in the army who did not have wives, and then sent to the Huangzhuang where these soldiers were from.
Many of these women are literate.
They have a lot of use in Huangzhuang.
The women didn't complain much.
After all, most of them are actually concubines and the like, as well as the original slaves and maids, and the good ones who are rationed as soldiers have a stable future, even if they need to work to support themselves, but this is not unbearable. Some young ladies may sing a few lines of poetry sadly, lamenting this tragic era, but as Yang Yong said, they will accept their fate after being made a few times by those strong soldiers.
But in the eyes of the civil officials and gentry, this is simply a sin!
Xiong Wenju trembled.
He looked at the confessions in front of him, at the names of those who were about to become prisoners because of their weakness. Then his eyes came to his family, his wife and daughter, to the scene of them being roulin by those rough soldiers, and the figure of his son dying in the mines. Be a warrior who will go down in history? Or is it a lonely soul who is exterminated? That's a big problem! Especially it is not necessary to go down in history, after all, it is only possible if Yang Qing becomes a loser, but there is no suspense about the extinction of the clan at present.
"I, I'll sign!"
He lowered his head and said as if in collapse.
An hour later.
"Ha, I know that he can't stand it, it's really not as good as the generation, where are the sages of Donglin back then? It's just worthy of Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian's junior! ”
Yang Qing looked at the paper and said disdainfully.
Of course, Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian were able to carry it because they actually knew that Wei Zhongxian was not capable of raiding their homes, and the Jiangnan gentry and Donglin Qunxian would do their best to protect their families. It is said that at this time, Zuo Guangdou's younger brother Zuo Guangxian is still the governor of Zhejiang! At present, there are two famous Zuo Guangxian in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is a military general, under Li Zicheng, who even died for Li Zicheng in history, but Zuo Guangdou's younger brother Zuo Guangxian has been an official in Jiangnan. Yang Lian's son has been to the prefect of Long'an, but originally it was finished before Hongguang took office in history, and then stayed in his hometown until Chen Zilong, Wu Shengzhao and Xia Wanchun were betrayed to Hong Chengchou by the son of this famous loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty when they planned to raise troops in Songjiang. As a result, Wu Shengzhao had to raise troops in a hurry, and the first thing he was so angry was to kill Yang Zhiyi, Yang Zhiyi generously shouted when he was dying that his father was loyal to Ming, and his son was loyal to Qing, so what a regret for his husband!
I have to say that history is always so embarrassing.
This is the root cause of the birth of those hard bones in the early days of the Donglin Party, because they all know that the political group behind them can guarantee their families and even their industries to the greatest extent.
But Yang Qing is not Wei Zhongxian!
Wei Zhongxian is not capable of fighting against the entire civil official group and the Jiangnan gentry group, but Yang Qing can do whatever he wants, this villain likes to raid his house the most, and almost everyone who is taken down by him is followed by him. Xiong Wenju's kneeling in Daqing is extremely refreshing, and he can't hold it anymore with a casual punishment, and then think about his family, why don't you hurry up, Yang Qing's notoriety is true, but it is also a rare shining point that he will practice what he says.
"Master Hou, do you want to catch it?"
Yang Yong said eagerly.
"Catch, there is no one left, all of them will be arrested for me, and tell Ma Shiying that I have cleared the field for him, and it will be up to him below!"
Yang Qing said.
Yang Yong immediately retired, and then a large-scale arrest was launched in Nanjing, and Jinyiwei, who held Xiong Wenju's confession, quickly arrested one Langzhong, one Wailang, and the two principals headed by Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials. In this way, coupled with Xiong Wenju and Huang Daozhou, who was driven back to his hometown to recuperate, nearly half of the main officials of the original Ministry of Officials were taken down, and the entire Ministry of Officials was in a panic.
"Ruan Dacheng can't do it, you just let Ruan Dacheng die, be a rich man honestly, how good it is to write a script!"
Yang Qing said.
He is now studying the new Zuo Shilang.
Ma Shiying will definitely recommend his old friend, but Yang Qing will not use Ruan Dacheng, this guy is an excellent playwright and a very talented businessman, and has even begun to open a chain of theaters in Nanjing.
But being an official is definitely not good.
The festival sucks!
"What does that mean by the Loyal and Brave Marquis?"
Ma Shiying asked.
The left squire of the ministry must be with him, and only in this way can he overwhelm the right squire.
"He Tengjiao, his governor of Huguang has also reached his term, so he will be transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a left squire, he and you are fellow villagers, and they should be able to cooperate!"
Yang Qing said.
Ma Shiying also stopped talking.
He Tengjiao and he are both from Guizhou, and they are also the representatives of the Guizhou department in the DPRK at this time, which is indeed the best choice, and Guizhou is undoubtedly the least among the imperial examination scholars at this time, even less than Yunnan. In the total number of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, the total number of Jinshi of Guizhou military and civilian nationality combined, ranked second to last, only slightly more than the Liaodong Dusi, less than one-fiftieth of Nanzhili, so there is no fear that the two Guizhou people will cooperate to promote the township party, and the two of them will not be promoted at all.
"Marquis Zhongyong, your wonderful ideas are really endless!"
Ma Shiying turned his gaze to the front.
At this time, in the fish pond in front of them, a large number of temporarily recruited soldiers were fishing, most of them were silver carp and grass carp, and their tails were very fat. A young soldier was holding a large grass carp of no less than twenty pounds in his arms, and the soldier fell into the water with a flick of his tail, causing laughter around him, and around this fish pond was a circle of mulberry trees that had fallen their leaves in autumn.
"It's not my whimsy, it's been around for a long time."
Yang Qing said with a smile.
This is a mulberry fish pond, and not only a mulberry fish pond, but also a sugarcane-based fish pond, in fact, it is in the low-lying swamp area, where it is difficult to grow rice, digging up long embankments, and then planting mulberry trees on the embankment to plant sugarcane, and feeding the fish with silkworm sand or sugarcane seedlings.
The area around Guangdong began to develop on a large scale in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, of course, some say it is earlier, such as Huzhou, which has a history of 2,000 years.
But either way, this is already there.
All Yang Qing needs is promotion.
While expanding agriculture and fishery, the aquaculture industry must also be developed, and this kind of dike-pond aquaculture can not only increase the output of cash crops, but also supplement the food shortage, which can be said to be the best of both worlds. Not only the Yangtze River Delta, but also the upstream Huguang, Jiangxi's Poyang Lake area can all be promoted, and the shallow water areas where rice cannot be cultivated can be done this, although agricultural reclamation is also an option, but the consequences of large-scale reclamation are also very serious......
That's all a buffer zone for the Yangtze River flood!
However, dike-pond culture is more perfect, which not only retains the capacity to accommodate floods, but also increases the use of marshy areas.
He had to think about it for the future.
The Yangtze River in front of him is no less violent than the Yellow River, and the thrilling torrent of the modern Yangtze River every year is largely due to the fact that these buffer zones on both sides of the river have been squeezed by the population. Compared with the reclaimed farmland, the huge sponge area created by dike-pond aquaculture can offset the population squeezing the Yangtze River to the greatest extent, and contain the excess river water in connected squares instead of forcing it to flow eastward.
